The Large Magellanic Cloud through the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope: Binaries and the mass function in the galaxy's outskirts
M. V. Legnardi, F. Muratore, A. P. Milone +16
Nearby galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offer an ideal laboratory to test the initial mass function under different physical conditions, but previous works have be…
SN 2025aico: Early observations of a faint Type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope
J. -W. Zhao, A. Pastorello, B. Kumar +45
We aimed to investigate the physical properties and the underlying explosion mechanisms of the Type IIb SN 2025aico. Through a comprehensive analysis of early-phase optical light c…
Multiple populations along the asymptotic giant branch: a Gaia+APOGEE study of 22 Galactic globular clusters
Emanuele Dondoglio, A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino +9
We present an investigation of multiple stellar populations along the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) in 22 globular clusters (GCs), exploiting APOGEE spectroscopy combined with AGB…
Hubble Space Telescope survey of Magellanic Cloud star clusters. Binaries, mass functions, blue stragglers, and structural parameters
F. Muratore, M. V. Legnardi, A. P. Milone +7
Binary stars are key tracers of the dynamical evolution of star clusters and provide important constraints on stellar populations and mass functions. The Magellanic Clouds host clu…
Globular Clusters in the Time of the JWST. I. Survey Design and First Results on Multiple Populations and Beyond
A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino, G. Cordoni +25
Globular clusters (GCs) host multiple stellar populations with distinct chemical compositions, but their properties among very low-mass stars remain poorly constrained. The James W…
Multiple populations detection with the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope main survey camera
Zhuohang Li, Xia Li, Hao Tian +6
Multiple stellar populations (MPs), characterized by star-to-star light-element abundance variations, are ubiquitous in globular clusters (GCs). Spectroscopy directly reveals these…
